19. Show that 3 5 is irrational.
Sol. If possible, let 3 5 be rational.
Let its simplest form be
3 5 =
a
b
, where, a and b are non-zero integers having no
common factor other than 1.
Now,
3 5 = 5 =
3
a a
b b

........... (i)
But, a and 3b are non-zero integers.

3

is rational
Thus, from (i), it follows that 5 is rational.
This contradicts, the fact that 5 is irrational.
Hence, 3 5 is irrational. Proved.

We see that the only primes in the factorisation of 12
n
are 2 and 3 and not 5.
As, we know the prime factorisation of a number is unique [By fundamental theorem
of Arithmetic]
Hence, 12
n
cannot end with the digits 0 or 5. Proved.
20. The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 8 and difference between the number
and that formed by reversing the digits is 18. Find the number.
Sol. Let the digit at units place be x and the digit at tens place be y. Then,
Number = 10y + x
Number formed by reversing the digits = 10x + y
According to the given conditions, we have
x + y = 8 ........... (i)
and, (10y + x) (10x + y) = 18
9(y x) = 18 y x = 2 .......... (ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get x = 3, y = 5
Hence, required number = 10y + x = 10 5 + 3 = 53

Case 1 : When n = 2q, we have
n
2
n = (2q)
2
2q = 4q
2
2q = 2q (2q 1)
n
2
n = 2r, where r = q(2q 1)
n
2
n is divisible by 2
Case II : When n = 2q + 1, we have
n

n = 2q + 1)
2
(2q + 1) = (2q + 1) (2q + 1 1) = 2q(2q + 1)
n

n = 2r, where r = q(2q + 1)
n

n is divisible by 2
Hence, n

Taxi charges consist of fixed charges and the remaining depending upon the distance
travelled in kilometres. If a person travels 10 km, he pays Rs 68 and for travelling
15 km, he pays Rs 98. Find the fixed charges and the rate per km.
Sol. Let the fixed charges be Rs x and rate per km be Rs y.
Then, x + 10y = 68 (i)
